“…after giving Michael the paper he stood here. He said he was watching TV so in less than 5 minutes they came. They came to me first and one of them stood behind Michael. All they said was ‘bring the money, bring the money’ and Michael said ‘why? Why?’ So I threw the money to them and ran away. Whilst running I heard a gunshot. They struggled inside the gutter so they took the money away after shooting him. They were two. They came with a boxer motorbike. I could see them from where I was hiding when they were leaving but I can’t identify their faces. They were a little dark in complexion and one is taller than the other,” the toilet operator who was also robbed recounted.
